New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley have seen train lines shut down and highways flooded after overnight deluge
Sudden, heavy rain in the northeastern US has triggered flash flooding across large areas of New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley on Friday, leading Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams to declare emergencies.
With up to five inches of rain reportedly hitting southern New York in the early hours of Friday morning, many city streets and over half of its subway system were rendered impassable by morning rush hour.
The MetroNorth railroad that serves the Hudson Valley saw some sections suspended. Several major highways through Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn were rendered impassable by large pools of standing floodwaters.
Videos posted to social media showed waterfalls of rain pouring into subway stations and even buses, neighborhoods seemingly submerged, and parkways transformed into lakes of floating cars by the downpour.
